"With Queens of the Stone Age, like, there were no boundaries with that band, there were no limits with them," he told Zane Lowe on Radio 1.

"It was like if you did something insane, you'd do more, if you did something that seemed too ridiculous - and honestly the new Queens of the Stone Age record, I'm playing drums on that, and I'll do something so completely ridiculous, I'll just be, like, 'There's no way that that Josh isn't going to let me do that'.

"And he'll say, 'Do that for 45 seconds, over and over again, that's become, like, part of the song, that is a big part of the song', and that's the way they work."
